I shipped stuff via suitcase and some via airfreight but don't do that as the cost was more than the parts :shock:

If you are in the UK,why don't you collect in person....they life in Dorchester and you could combine with a weekend by the sea! I used to life in Bournemouth!

Excess Baggage where the cheapest.....I could find. I actually did airfreight in the end as didn't want to wait 8 weeks for ship but my floor panels (1.5m x 1m x .3m) was £330 air and I think ship was £180 ish
